The time a basketball player spends in the air is called the "hang time." The vertical leap L measured in feet is related to the hang time t measured in seconds by the equation L = 4t 2. Sam Bucketmaster, a spectacular basketball player, often displayed a leap of 3.5 feet. Find the hang time for that leap. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a second, if necessary.
So I know the equation is L=4t^2
L= leap
L= 3.5 ft
So, would it be 3.5=4t^2 ?
Would I divided 4 by each side first
and then i get 0.875....Or am I wrong? A little stuck here.
